Why is the moon's gravitational attraction different than the gravitational attraction on earth

Physics
1 answer:
Elden [556K]3 years ago

Answer:

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second. The Moon's surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. A body's surface gravity is proportional to its mass, but inversely proportional to the square of its radius.

Answer:

The offspring is homozygous for eye color.

Explanation:

Brown eyes is the shared allele of both parents (meaning homozygous) and an allele for hair type was not inherited from only one parents but from both however will recieve the dominant trait. (This is my best guess; I haven't studied this in awhile though)

What must be true of a force that causes an object to move in a circular motion?
AlladinOne [14]

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand centripetal force.

The centripetal force is the force which is required to keep the body along its circular path.The direction of the force is along the radius and towards the centre.

Mathematically\ centripetal\ force\ F_{c} =\frac{mv^2}{r}

Here m is the mass of the body,v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circular path.

When a body moves in a circular path,its velocity at any point is the tangent drawn at that point.

As centripetal force acts along the radius, it must be perpendicular to the velocity of the body.

Hence the correct answer to the question is- It acts perpendicular to the velocity and is directed toward the center of the circle.

A tungsten wire has resistance R at 20°C. A second tungsten wire at 20°C has twice the length and half the cross-sectional area
Bad White [126]
The resistance is 4 times the resistance of the first wire. the formula is R = p*l/A with p being resistivity, l length and A area. So if you double length and half area, which botv result in more resistance, you get p*2/0.5 or 4 (p can be abandoned because it is the same. We take standard length and area as 1)

The mass and radius of Earth are____ME and____RE, respectively. The mass and radius of the Moon are approximately 186ME and 27RE
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

1. Mass of the Earth is 5.97219 × 10^24 kg

2. Radius of the Earth is 6,371 km

3. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is 9.81 m/s^2

4. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 1.625 m/s^2

Explanation:

The mass and radius of Earth are <u>5.97219 × 10^24 kg</u> ME and <u>6,371 km</u> RE, respectively. The mass and radius of the Moon are approximately 186ME and 27RE, respectively. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth is <u>9.81 m/s^2</u> . The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is most nearly <u>1.625 m/s^2</u>

1. A buoyant force of 790 N lifts a 214 kg sinking boat.What is the boat's<br> net acceleration?
enot [183]

Answer:

The net acceleration of the boat is approximately 6.12 m/s² downwards

Explanation:

The buoyant or lifting force applied to the boat = 790 N

The mass of the boat lifted by the buoyant force = 214 kg

The force applied to a body is defined as the product of the mass and the acceleration of the body. Therefore, the buoyant force, F, acting on the boat can be presented as follows;

Fₐ = F - W

The weight of the boat = 214 × 9.81 = 2099.34 N

Therefore;

Fₐ = 790 - 2099.34  = -1309.34 N

Fₐ = Mass of the boat × The acceleration of the boat

Given that the buoyant force, Fₐ, is the net force acting on the boat, we have;

F = Mass of the boat × The net acceleration of the boat

F = -1309.34 N =  214 kg × The net acceleration of the boat

∴ The net acceleration of the boat = -1309.34 N/(214 kg) ≈ -6.12 m/s²

The net acceleration of the boat ≈ 6.12 m/s² downwards
